Wanted to go back to an old project, my Scifi Bunk Room, to learn modelling in Blender. Thought I'd go a bit detailed on this video phone asset 
I miss this place ❤️ Hope you are all doing well old friends.

Yeah I nabbed one a few weeks back. Been playing Ghosts of Tsushima. Bought a 65" 4k TV to play it on too, its pretty incredible!
Not had any crashes so far, thankfully. Astro's Playroom is a fun little game too. The console feels really slick overall, I'm really enjoying it.
How is this acceptable? What went wrong?
Happy to see latex gimp suits making a big comeback in 2077.
I'm sure it's a great game, I think I just bought into the hype and purchased it without really thinking. It seemed fun, but I wanna be able to invest some proper time into it once I've finished other games that I've purchased recently. AV: Valhalla, Ghost of Tsushima etc. Plus it'll be cheaper next year, as well as more optimized and have less bugs. I ran into a lot of T-pose characters and other assorted visual bugs that sorta broke the immersion a bit.
I refunded this and I'm gonna wait a few months I think. It was very buggy and poorly optimized. I have lots of games to finish first anyway 
Definitely interested in playing but it felt subpar for a £50 game.

How much time before the government will take over hospitals and doctors to prevent fake vaccination proof ?
How much time before the non-vaccinated people have to wear a yellow star on their jackets when they go out ?
Discuss.
I'm gonna get the vaccine.
Hey all. Sorry I've not been around very much recently! Had a lot going on IRL and with work. Hope you are all doing well! Been working on this scene for a while now but finally finished it up. You can check it out on Artstation. This has been a really fun project and I've learned a lot about UE4 and environment art in general. Really wanted to push myself to learn some new software. Speedtree is amazing!https://www.artstation.com/artwork/bK8EPn
Im looking forward to the day when we're not allowed to open our refrigerators until we've logged into Facebook.
I hope you boys are being compensated well! Just saw this.... Oof.
❤️ Blackdog. Stay strong bud!

The first one was great when it came out on Xbox. Up there with Goldeneye imo in terms of how innovative it was for console FPS. Halo 2/3 were pretty decent too, but definitely from 4 onwards it felt supppper generic.

But such are the times that we live in, where being a bad person is somehow a good answer towards other evils. Two wrongs don't make a right. Also, he's far from being the first nation leader to get infected, this virus doesn't discriminate.
Careful dude, with that kinda attitude, you're gonna get cancelled by the internet! How dare you have a difference of opinion?! ?
YOU MUST CONFORM

I'm not sure. I played it a good couple of years after it came out, and I did enjoy it, but I just didn't find it as mindblowing as everyone was saying it was. I found the gameplay to be a bit... Average. But then, games move on so quickly, that maybe I'd already played a game that was inspired from The Last Of Us. Also I think I had overhead the ending and some other bits too, just through the grapevine kinda thing over the years. That's probably my main reason. There wasn't a lot of suspense for me, knowing some big plot points. I knew nothing about TLOU2, so everything came as a huge surprise.
Fuck yeah, Rick. Agreed. You guys should not judge this game until you've played it through fully. I went in with no pre-formed opinions before playing the game (didnt look at any user reviews etc), and came out absolutely loving it. I am SO fucking confused by the reaction to this game, I really am. Personally, I think it's one of the best games of this generation. Maybe even one of the best stories in videogames, in terms of how it makes you re-frame the entire plot of the first game. Really powerful stuff.
And for the record, I actually was saying to my friends before we all played that I was not particularly excited about this game, either. I was bordering on feeling negative towards TLOU2. I really don't enjoy Uncharted, and I thought the first TLOU was only alright. This one blew me away. Completely unexpected.
Watched the most recent gameplay vid and it looks... kinda ropey. Kinda reminded me of Skyrim in a way, janky animations and shit. Anyone else think that?
I've tried so many times to get into Deus Ex (the original), but I've never been able. I think it's one of those games you had to experience when it came out. I never played it as a kid, for whatever reason, so missed out 
Kinda reminds me of old movies that people say are great. You go to watch them, and are left feeling underwhelmed, sometimes. Probably because other movies have taken what made them great, and taken them in different directions, or to the next level, but either way you feel like you've already watched them you know? I think it's likely the same with Deus Ex. Other games took that formula and expanded on it.
I might try it again sometime, and see if I can break through that barrier.

TLOU2 is one of my favourite games of this year, easily. Love me some old fashioned shooters, but this is truly pushing the bar of what games can be, in my opinion.
Finished it today. Thought it was fantastic. Slightly disappointed by the ending. Loved Abby as a character. Spoilers below. You've been warned.
Spoiler People are getting really pissed at Joel's death. I thought killing him off was a very bold way of moving on from the first game and trying something new. Did people want 20 hours of trudging through cities with Joel again like in the first game? That would have been boring. Killing off Joel is a brilliant way of creating a 'bad guy' and a driving force for the game. However, over the course of the game, you come to realise that the person who killed Joel had her justified reasons for doing so, and is in fact, not so much of a 'bad guy' after all. Joel came in and brutally shot her dad to death for just trying to find a cure. That's literally all she knew. That's horrific when you paint it in that light. That poor girl lost her dad, who she was extremely close to. If somebody killed my loved ones like that, I would absolutely want to get my revenge. That's the really incredible thing that this game has done, is painting a different picture of what happens to these people that are senselessly killed over the course of the first game. It was one of my main issues with Naughty Dog's other game series, Uncharted. You kill 100s of goons and it just becomes meaningless violence. Really switched me off from that game. However, in this game, as Ellie, you're killing people who are just trying to live their lives in the communities that they've joined. There's no good guys and bad guys. Everyone's just out for survival. It sucks, and it's a pretty horrible existence. Both Abby and Ellie were totally justified in wanting to get revenge. I loved seeing Abby's perspective on what happened. That said, however, the ending left me disappointed. I liked Abby so much that I did not want to kill her, so I chose not to hit square when Ellie was trying to stab her to death. The game made me restart from a checkpoint. Huge dissonance there. So I restarted, hit square, and Abby survives. Ellie gives up fighting. I'd have preferred it if they sat down and actually spoke to one another about their trauma, and resolved things. That would have felt like a very satisfying end to me. But overall, I loved the direction they took this game. Compelling characters. I actually found the gameplay bits to be the most boring bits of the game - I was just enjoying the game as sorta like an interactive movie by the end.
Yeah we've been getting absolutely owned the past few nights. I think I'm done with the game now. The maps feel awkward and cramped. Everyone just throws ice walls and smoke down and you're just sat like a lemon waiting for them to disappear. You can't really rotate very well either.
I really enjoyed it at the start, and I'm pretty decent, but it's just making me angry now.
